I'm afraid that won't work for me because of the nature of my setup (ntpdate isn't installed on the machine and no regular internet access). That's why I took the trouble to install Guest Additions, so that the guest could get at the host's clock. Sadly it seems to only access it on a full initialisation of the client VM - rebooting the client OS isn't good enough.
